*Remember to buy organic and avoid your food allergies when making this recipe! If you do not know what your food allergies are get them tested soon!

INGREDIENTS:

1 large, organic sweet potato (or 2 cups organic sweet potato purée)

1 cup organic, gluten free quinoa, cooked

1/2 cup organic black beans, drained & rinsed

1/4 tsp organic garlic powder

1/4 tsp organic smoked paprika

1/4 tsp organic chili powder

*sea salt & grains of paradise or organic pepper for seasoning **Options for toppings: Goat cheese/Sheep cheese, organic spinach, organic avocado 

DIRECTIONS:

  • Bake sweet potato for 50 minutes at 425F. Once cooked and cooled, remove skin of sweet potato and mash using a fork until it forms a purée. *This step can be skipped if canned sweet potato purée is being used instead.
  • Cook quinoa following packages instructions.
  • Add cooked quinoa, black beans, and spices to the sweet potato purée and stir together.
  • Scoop mixture onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper and form into patties. Can use the lid of a mason jar to form perfect circles.
  • Bake at 350F for 15-25 minutes. Since this recipe is vegan, baking time is not as important – depends on how soft or firm you want them! The longer you bake, the firmer the veggie patties will be.
